Movie Review – Arrival
—
I think Arrival is the best science fiction movie in years. Personally, I would have to go back to Edge of Tomorrow to find one almost as good. Not that these two movies are remotely alike. Arrival is more related to Contact — with Jodi Foster. Invasion of the Linguists What sets Arrival apart from most…

Movie Review – Suicide Squad
—
I have to admit it, I was hoping Suicide Squad would be the Guardians of the Galaxy of the DC universe. It didn’t come close. My wife and I talked about it, and if I had to compare it to another comic movie, I’d say it was about as good as the Thor movies. Margot…

Movie Review – Ghostbusters (2016 reboot)
—
The movie is a reboot of the Ghostbusters story. The events of the first movie (we will not speak of GB2) are not recognized. However, there are a plethora of cameos. Not all of the original cast make cameos, but many do, and those moments are the best parts of the movie. Take those cameos…

Movie Review – Star Trek Beyond
I’m a big ST fan. I’ve watched all the TV series and all the movies. So I’m going to come at this review as a fan, not a casual moviegoer. All of three Abrams’ Star Trek movies have been well received by the critics and audience, so we can at least say that we’ve…

Movie Review – The Legend of Tarzan
Going in, I expected this move to be horrible – it wasn’t – but I’m not saying it turned out to be great either – it isn’t. I was fully expecting that Samuel L. Jackson’s role wouldn’t be much more than a cameo. I was pleasantly surprise that SLJ’s role was quite substantial. He helped…

X-Men: Apocalypse (movie review)
—
Grade: B It’s always a struggle to rate and review movies like this. I’m going to take the easy way out and judge it against the other X-Men movies. “Apocalypse” is way better than “The Last Stand”–universally believed to be the worst in the franchise. But, I don’t think it was quite as good as…

Movie Review – Batman vs. Superman
[Spoilers are limited to things seen in the movie trailer] I have to say, Batman vs. Superman didn’t wow me. That’s not completely true. Parts of it wowed me, but not many. Most of the movie tried to crank up the tension, which got a little tedious at times, and the payoff wasn’t always worth…

Movie Review – London Has Fallen
—
Critics hate this movie, but I think the creators did a pretty good job of making a movie that lands near the bulls eye for movie goers who like action, revenge, violence, and good guys vs bad guys. I’m not saying this movie is anywhere near a classic of the genre, but it is an…
